Squad sheets: Notts County v Manchester City

Roberto Mancini will be missing Adam Johnson for the trip to Meadow Lane, with the England winger due to see a specialist instead because of an ankle injury he suffered in training on Thursday and that is likely to keep him out for at least one more week. Mancini has been steadily trimming his squad through the transfer window, and may not be able to rest as many players as he would have liked as he prepares to take on a side 59 places below them in the league ladder.
